The puppy, named Miranda, had a malnourished body with her ribs showing through her fur, but New Castle officers found the dog and helped her.

They took her back to the department until experts could step in to do their part.

"The puppy appeared to be starving and couldn’t walk and couldn't keep its head up at that time. The puppy tried to get over to the officer by shuffling its legs on its belly trying to get over to us,” said chief Robert Salem.

Salem said officers were responding to a burglary call at Westview Terrace Friday when they walked in the apartment and discovered Miranda in bad shape.

Police said Dukes posted on Facebook on Jan. 10 asking "who wanted a puppy." When police found a picture of the dog Dukes was attempting to get rid of, it appeared to be the same dog discovered in her vacant apartment.

The Lawrence County Humane Society is now nursing Miranda back to health before she can be adopted. They said she is already making progress and should be just fine.
